In a startling first, a Washington state man has been infected with a strain of bird flu previously only detected in animals.
The “severely ill” man was hospitalized with a high fever, confusion and respiratory distress earlier this month and confirmed to have H5N5, a subtype of avian influenza carried by wild birds such as ducks and geese.
The Washington State Department of Health described the unidentified patient as being “older” and having “underlying health conditions.”
The agency noted that the man has a “mixed backyard flock of domestic poultry” at his home in Grays Harbor County, in the southwest of the state.
Two of the birds recently died, the Washington Post reported.
Wild birds could also access the property, with agency officials believing that either set of birds is “most likely” the source of the virus exposure.
The man remained hospitalized as of last week while the investigation continues.
The risk to the public is low, according to Washington health officials and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
No one else has tested positive for H5N5. There’s no evidence of person-to-person spread, though experts have acknowledged that viral evolution can be “unpredictable.”

Right on time.
The price of eggs and poultry have dropped sufficiently to afford protein again.
And the only cure is obedience.
We’re all gonna die of literally Ebola, and the Zombie hordes of walking dead.
“The price of eggs and poultry have dropped sufficiently to afford protein again.”

If only he had worn his mask 24/7/365 none of this would have happened. Washington State mandatory masking in less than 72 hrs.
Here we go.
